Topic: mounting a WK2 share directory?

[guestHH]

Hi,

While trying to mount a shared directory on a W2K server I get this error:

[root@server smbmount //192.168.10.6/share /mnt/mountpoint
2844: session request to 192.168.10.6 failed (Called name not present)
2844: session request to 192 failed (Called name not present)
Password:
2844: session setup failed: ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access denied.)
SMB connection failed


The shared directory is accesible to everyone with full right?

Anybody any idea ?

Thanks,
guestHH

Hi RequestedDeletion,

sorry, no idea at all, but the very same probs with W2k and XP - even disabling password encryption doesnt work at all.

Hope someone on this forum is whiser than I am ...

cheers,

Ralph

IIRC, "everybody" in the NT/2K/XP world doesn't really mean "everybody" but rather all users on the machine / domain. Its Guest that's really "everybody".

So, if you are trying to mount an "everybody" share as root on your box without specifiying a user on the machine / domain, you're probably not going to have much luck.

So two options...

- make the share readable by guest (and enable guest on that machine)
- do something like :
mount -t smbfs -o username=user,password=foobar //192.168.10.6/share /mnt/mountpoint

and use an actual username and password valid on the machine.

Thanks Guck,

I will try that when I'm back in the office.
I know for sure that the guest account is disabled (standard procedure), so I hope you're right.
